Please share with everyone about your church. I'll go first!

Old Calendar
Serbian Orthodox (Western America Diocese)
church name: St. John the Baptist

I'm Irish and have found much love in my church among the Serbs there. I have also been enriched by reading their history.

How 'bout you???

LOL! Mickey! I understand! In all actuality I was an Irish citizen with dual citizenship in the US. When I was old enough I made my home here too....although I still love my homeland :o I'm glad I don't live there even these days! (Northern Ireland). My dad had American citizenship so that's the only reason I got "in"...

Thanks for the links...I am always interested in learning...the other day I read that Ireland, my homeland, was evangelized very early by seven Egyptian monks....that gives me a feeling of great gratitude to your country!
